Aime Mpane

It seems an increasingly naive message in times of polarisation and radical decolonisation, but Aimé Mpane believes in it fully. The fact that he is only the first artist of Congolese descent with a solo exhibition in the Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium is to him interesting rather than poignant or vindictive. In this, too, he differs from the Black Lives Matter protest movement, which wants to assign blame, deface statues and, ideally, remove them from public space. Mpane prefers to restore them by putting a disclaimer on them.
